Current Affairs đźŚˇď¸Ź Weather / climate change

It's really funny reading this thread for a few reasons:

1. You've got climate change deniers imagining they're free thinking individualists by denying the "mainstream" science, when actually they're thinking very precisely what the richest people in the world have spent decades paying a lot of money to make them think. They literally could not be more obedient to power if they tried.

2. The climate change denialists have won! We're doing bugger all to reduce emissions. We WILL see somewhere between 3 and 6 degrees warming by the end of the century. And the denialists are going to keep stubbornly denying while their insurance premiums skyrocket (if they can get insurance at all), and the roads they depend on are abandoned because they can't be replaced every five years. (No need to go into the really serious consequences).

Like climate change is really bad. But a small little silver lining is watching the chickens coming home to roost for the denialists while they keep denying because who wants to admit they were played and hoodwinked?
đź’Ż well put.

Civilisation has operated under a very specific climate for several thousand years.
That was assumed, but also found to be not true. We are finding evidence of human civilisation under ice that has existed for thousands of years.

Göbekli Tepe May push our civilisation timeline back tens or hundreds of thousands of years as well.

Actually I think we can wrap up this column now based on this very correct and succinct post

Strong parallels with the political forums too

Well I'm not sure about dailystar.net, but of course bows have been used in all sorts of climates. We've been hunting and gathering for eons. By civilisation we mean high population densities dependent on agriculture, which depends on a very specific climate.

I thought the world was ending at 1c, 1.5c, 2c,2.5. Oh so it’s 3c now is it?
No serious person said the world was ending at any of those temperatures. The ippc reports have very specific effects with ranges of likelihoods across a variety of emissions reduction scenarios. You should give yourself some credit and argue against something other than a straw man.

Now’s a good time for the Doomer Boomers top ten.



“The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”

— Paul Ehrlich, The Population Bomb


It's not hard to find someone who said something wrong once. Again, give yourself some credit and argue against some peer-reviewed studies, against ippc reports etc.

The Ice Age

1970, the Boston Globe ran with a chilling headline, “Scientist Predicts A New Ice Age By 21st Century.
Yes and scientists have said we'd be in flying cars and eating capsules containing all we need instead of regular food, and living in colonies on the moon. You've proved some scientists have made poor predictions at various points in history. And?
